Synopsis Grievant is employed by Respondent as a Transportation Worker and grieves his non promotion to crew chief. Grievant alleges a pattern of discrimination or favoritism as the reason for his non-selection to the position. Respondent requests the dismissal of this matter and disputes any malfeasance. Grievant did not appropriately establish an incident that timely constitutes a proper grievance. Further, Grievant failed to prove discrimination, favoritism, or that Respondent’s actions were in violation of any applicable rule or regulation. It is established by a preponderance of the evidence that Respondent’s motion to dismiss is meritorious. Accordingly, Respondent's “Motion to Dismiss” is Granted and this grievance is dismissed from the docket of the Grievance Board.
